Twenty years of lab conspiracies have came by in a flash
I noticed in recent biology and political talk that the Lab conspiracy in China keeps escalating especially here in the USA. I'm wondering if the conspiracy theories that the politicians keep ranting about as a ploy for the 2022 governor's and congressional elections even understand that here in the USA two decades ago we had the Anthrax attacks. There were FBI investigations at the time saying it came from a lab here in the USA and it was one of the sparking points on why biology majors are the least trusted group to the general public for the past 20 years.
I agree it's virtue signaling among politicians in this recent China lab conspiracy in relation to SARS-CoV-2.
TWIV 760 and TWIV 761 a Microbe.tv production recently went into discussions on how COVID-19 "Lab Conspiracy" is not true and the evidence the virologists had showed that the virus was naturally occurring.
Parts of this escalation on Lab conspiracy can be traced to this event as we reach the 20th Anniversary in September and some of the politicians here in the USA want to wash their hands of past guilt from when we went through similar incidents we are wagging our finger at China at today. The Problem with this is that the more you run or wag your finger at other countries the more we as Americans would have to be examined like the 2020's version of Axis of evil. We need to look at the mirror and examine our past sins and deal with it in a fair manner.
